Lakers sign Kobe Bufkin to 2-year contract

Following the NBA trade deadline, the Lakers had one open roster spot which they used to sign Kobe Bufkin to a two-year contract, as per Shams Charania of ESPN. Bufkin had previously played for the Lakers on a 10-day contract last month, and the team opted not to re-sign him to another 10-day. After his initial 10-day expired, Bufkin went back to the G League with the Lakers’ South Bay affiliate where he had begun the season. This is a developing story and will be updated as more information becomes available.
